It is advised that during Rahu Mahadasha one should wear the Hessonite gemstone (Gomed) as it tends to offset the negative effects of Rahu. This gemstone in Rahu Mahadasha is related to Rahu and has the effect of increasing clarity and reducing confusion while strengthening the control from making wrong decisions. It gives you a sense of balance of emotions and enhances relationships, and also protects and attracts wealth & prosperity according to Rahu. Better still, the stone should be well purified through Vedic chants and prayer, then worn for the best results to be achieved. Thus, the Gemstone Hessonite, performing one’s daily prayers, reciting Rahu Beej Mantra, and donating can also help to counteract the extreme influence of Rahu, during its cycle of 18 years.
